After a system failure, when the server appliance is restarted, the server appliance attempts
to restore the file lock status to the previous condition. If the client fails, the server
appliance releases the file lock. However, after the client restarts it has a short period of
time to reclaim the file lock.

NFS Protocol with User and Group Mappings
Setting NFS User and Group Mappings
To provide security for server appliance files accessed from a UNIX environment, the NFS
protocol requires the system administrator to map UNIX user or group accounts to their
twin accounts on the server appliance. Users then have equivalent access rights under
UNIX as they have under Microsoft Windows. Alternatively, Web sites with less stringent
security needs can bypass the mapping procedure and treat all UNIX users as anonymous
users.
